Henry Morgentaler has been awarded the Order of Canada. A man whose life was devoted to killing innocent babies is now given the highest award this country has to offer. This is one of the lowest days in Canadian history. How can he get this award after being responsible for the deaths of the most innocent citizens of this country.
He says he is proud of his work, he is proud of giving women safe abortions. Safe for who? He doesn't even acknowledge the kids he rips apart, burns with chemicals and kills in a most inhuman ways.
Archbishop Collins has issued a statement about the matter, full text can be found here (note: pdf file)
Canada's highest honour has been debased. Henry Morgentaler has been awarded the Order of Canada. We are all diminished.
A community's worth is measured by the way it treats the most vulnerable, and no one is more vulnerable than in the first nine months of life's journey. No person may presume to judge the soul of Henry Morgentaler, but it cannot be denied that the effect of his life's work has been a deadly assault upon the most helpless amongst us.
Canada glories in the names of Banting and Best, and the other medical heroes who selflessly brought healing where there was disease and suffering. Now it honours with the Order of Canada a medical man who has brought not healing, but the destruction of the defenseless and immeasurable grief. This award must not stand.
